If you've applied to jobs and heard nothing back, you're not crazy. Companies are posting openings they never plan to fill. It wastes your time and warps the data we use to read the economy. I'm pushing the Labor Department and FTC to find out how bad it is.

So the guy who wants to be Arizona’s top lawyer just told 18,000 of our neighbors to be ready to be deported. These are nurses and firefighters and people who’ve lived here their whole lives, and he’s looking them in the eye calling them illegals.

If we’re serious about accountability, we have to be serious about transparency. I stopped by the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room to meet with survivors and review the records that have been released to the public.
Taxpayers will be paying $300 MILLION for Trump’s party palace. So when he said it would be privately funded, that was a lie.
Nine Arizona students just earned the Congressional Award Gold Medal. Each one logged more than 400 hours of community service. Fighting fires, feeding families, coaching kids, and looking out for the homeless. I was honored to meet with them during their trip to D.C. this week.
The United States should lead through strength, diplomacy, and principle—not by trying to change governments through military force.
Our focus should be building strong partnerships across the Western Hemisphere and advancing America’s interests responsibly.

Getting out of a conflict takes more than hope and guesswork. It takes serious diplomacy, experienced negotiators, and the patience to do the hard work.
That’s how we protect our interests, support our allies, and avoid another endless war.

Arizona depends on the Colorado River, and it cannot wait for everyone to agree. The Interior Department needs a plan now. Keep the system from collapsing, assess the risk fairly, and move resources as fast as possible.
Getting in a little extra practice with Michael before the game tomorrow!
I’m writing a jobs plan and I want your input. Preview the plan and send your thoughts directly to my team at the link below.

Working people pay taxes on every paycheck while billionaires use loopholes to avoid paying theirs.
Here's how the Robinhood Act closes one of those loopholes.
I said I would do everything to fight Trump's anti-family green card policy, and now I'm doing just that. But this is just the first step. I'll keep pushing so that American children aren't left without a parent.

I'm writing a plan to rebuild the middle class, and I want your help shaping it. My goal is an economy that works for working people: higher wages, steadier hours, and more housing and energy made here at home. Read a preview and weigh in:

This only touches people with over $100 million in income or a billion in assets. Not you. Not small business owners. The very top. It’s a simple rule: if you use your wealth like cash, you pay taxes like the rest of us.

Today, I’m introducing the ROBINHOOD Act. When a billionaire borrows against their fortune to fund their lifestyle, we treat it as what it is. Cashing in. And we tax it the same as if they sold.
Meanwhile you pay taxes on every paycheck. The money comes out before you even see it. One set of rules for working people. Another for the people who can afford lawyers to find the loopholes.
Their fortune keeps growing the whole time. When they die, they hand it all down to their heirs, and the tax bill on those gains disappears completely. Buy. Borrow. Die. Pay nothing.
They don’t sell their stock, because selling means paying taxes. So, they borrow against it instead. Loans aren’t taxed income, so they pull millions, even billions, in cash. Tax free.
It’s a strategy called “Buy, borrow, die.” The ultra-rich don’t get a paycheck like you and I – a paycheck they’d have to pay taxes on – they get ‘paid’ in stocks.
The 25 richest Americans paid pay an average tax rate of 3.4 percent. A teacher pays more than that. So does a waitress, a plumber, a nurse. Here’s how they pull it off, and here’s how my bill is going to stop it. 👇
